G forces anyone?

I learned two new G chords just recently so i guess i'll share them with you, haha.

Ok, we all know the normal G chord, looks like
The new chord is a Gsus2, this one looks like:
Just move your pointer finger down the the 3rd (G) string on the second fret (C# note). "sus" is short for suspended. Kinda like spiderman suspends himself, but not really... So you'd say, Gsus (suspended).
And the second one has two variations of it but they sound axacly the same, just two different ways of playing the. This happens to alot of chords once you start exploring the notes and roots and all, you'll find several ways of making the same chord, alot of fun by the way!
These are both a Gsus.
Now i'd kinda like to explore to why these chords are the same... And i'll do so with those nifty guitar note diagrams. Ok so this first one is the first picture of the Gsus. OH WOW... would ya look at this... I learn so much when i make these diagrams, its so much fun! OKOK... now heres the picture:

Notice the notes that make up this Gsus chord. G,B,D,G,C,G, you can see that the G is the root hence its name.

Now look at the second Gsus.

The notes that make up the second Gsus goes like this: G,D,G,C,D,G. Lets put these patterns right on top of eachother just to see exacly whats going on, lol... b/c i'm still alittle confused abuot why and how... i'm learning as i type. I feel like i'm disyphering a hidden language or somethin!

Gsus: GBDGCG

Gsus: GDGCDG

WOW, you see oh it kinda slides down... like this:

Gsus: GBDGCG

Gsus: GDGCDG

If you taek the B out in the first Gsus, and switch out the G from the first and the D from the second then get the exact same notes! I have no idea what this meens but its pretty darn cool huh... wow. Well i guess i'm gana research why this happens and what it meens then i'll post it on here and mabey fix this lessons so where not all left feeling like we found something that has no meening at all, haha. But i loved this lessons!

I think i'm gana do this to a few more chords with different positions just to see what happens and see if theres a pattern wee can figure out together.

Well this frig'n awsome lessons is agurned!
